Student Right ToSeeRecords By FRAN MacDONALD Do you think a student has a right to inspect all his school records and files? A growing controversy seems to have centered around this question, and in Congress, a battle rages between the legislative body and members of higher education a ssociations. A legislative bill, formally titled "The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974," was introduced by Senator James L. Buckley (C.-N.Y .) and signed into law on August 21, 1974. This law gives college and university students and the parents "f younger children the right to inspect all their school records and files . Its also prohibits release of material in a student's file without written consent of the college student or the parents of younger pupils, except to officials or
teachers of the school the student attends · or in which he plans to enroll, to certain state and Federal officials, and in connection with a student's application for financial aid . The effective date of this law is November 19, 1974. As a penalty for violation of this right , the legislation provides for the cutting off of Federal fund s to the schools and educational agencies which do not establish procedures for granting the access to school records within 45 days after request for them is made. On October 8, 1974, The American Council on Education and six other higher education associations including the Association of American . Colleges and the National Council of Independent Colleges and Universities requested in a memorandum to Congress that the effective date of this bill be postponed until July 1, 1975, to
allow time for hearings . These hearings would provide an opportunity for affected parties to state their views . Several reasons were given· to support his request. The first reason centers around the violation of confidence. The Act gives students access to all existing records. These records include such items as letters of recommendation for admission, which were solicited with an explicit commitment that they would be confidential and with the student's understanding that they would be confidential. The provisions of this Act violate that promise of confidence. A second area of concern was a list of important ambiguities which the higher education associations felt should be cured by legislative action . These ambiguities include the question of the broadness of the term " any and all official
records, files and data," and the granting of these rights to persons who have graduated or who have applied to a college but have not been admitted. Thirdly, the Act appears to have consequences that the Congress may not have intended . Students receiving financial aid would have access to confidential financial information , violating the privacy of their parents . Students receiving psychiatric care would have access to the psychiatrist's records . However , parent s can receive no information from a college about their children without the child ren 's consent . Despite its evident purpose of protecting students' privacy, the Act is likely to cause invasions of that privacy. This, the educational associations feel , is a fourth

TRENDS
Vegetarianism: Healthof SoulandBody B y MARY BETH SENKEWICZ With today's meat prices rising higher and higher still, more and more people are "going vegetarian" as a personal defense against inflation. It seems to be a diet very . much in vogue these days , and many people are aware of it in that sense only, as a fad, and are not attuned to its broader implications. Yet vegetarianism has existed for centuries, and has been an alternative way of eating for many deep thinkers: Leo Tolstoy, George Bernard Shaw, John Milton, Isaac Newton, Percy Shelley, Albert Schweitzer, Henry David Thoreau, and Mahatma Gandhi were all vegetarians. To ser' nus vegetarians, it is far from a fad; it is a way of life. Vegetarianism is a general term that applies to people who do not eat flesh foods (although some vegetarians will eat . fisl1). However, there are different kinds of vegetarians. Lado-vegetarians use dairy products suc h as milk, chee se, and butter. Lacto-ovo-vegetarians also include eggs in the ir diet. Pure vegetarians only use grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetab les (and possibly honey). Advocacy of a fleshless diet for normal use first surfaced around 500 B.C. simultaneously (and probably independently) in India and the Eastern Mediterranean area. In the Mediterranean area, Pythagorus is generally cited as being the first person to teach avoidance of eating flesh. He and his followers believed _that the kinship of all animals was a basis for human benevolence towards other creatures, and they should not be killed for food. From Plato onward many pagan
philosophers, such as Epicurus and Plutarch, and particularly the neo- · Platonists, maintained that the fleshless diet was the.best road to take in the search for principles of cosmic harmony in accord with which human beings could live . In India, Buddhists and Jains refused to kill for food for aesthetic and ethical reasons - they believed that humans should not inflict harm on any sentient creature. The beginning of modern secular vegetarianism dates from the foundling of the first Vegetarian Society in Manchester, England, in 1847. (By the way, this was the first time the word vegetarianism was used.) A similar society was formed in the United States in 1850. Most meat-eaters have one simple question to ask of vegetarians: why give up meat? There ·are varied reasons. One of the primary motives is pacifist-oriented - the killing and eating of flesh is simply inconsistent with many persons' ethical and social consciences. Many philosophical and religious ideologies believe that the partaking of flesh food is a hindrance to spiritual development. Due to the present emphasis on ecology, many people have come to consider the use of meat as the primary protein source an arrogant exploitation of earth's limited resources. Most vegetarians believe that meat, and also all processed foods, are harmful to the body. And there are the obvious economic reasons. Americans have been conditioned to believe that only a meat-based diet is adequate for good health. Americans , on the average, consume 1/2 lb. of meat per

There is, of course, a controversy still raging over the effects of meat additives on human health. Some studies indicate a correlation between meat eatinTT and cancer (especially of the colon ' , but this evidence is not conclusive. According to Today's Health Magazine, nutritionists recommend some basic guidelines for people following a vegetarian diet. For those who wish to include dairy products and /or eggs: • Cut "empty (sugar, fats, oils) calories in half; • Replace meat with increased intake of legumes, nuts, or meat analogs (textured vegetable protein (TVPs) such as soyburgers); • Give up as many refined or processed foods as possible - whole foods have greater nutritional value; • Eat more grains and cereals; • Eat a salad every day, adding such things as raw carrots, beet roots, and dried fruits; • Include cottage cheese and low-fat milk in your daily diet , and restrict eggs to no more than four a week ; • To retain vitamins and minerals, cook vegetables for the shortest time and in as little water as po sible. Pure vegeterians should make a pecial effort to: • Increase their intake of green leafy vegetables; • Increase general caloric intake, eating more of everything; • Use either fortified soy milk preparations or take some form of vitamin B-12 supplement.
persor, per day. •Compare this with the Japanese people, whose average meat consumption is 1/2 lb. per person per month. This attitude can be attributed to the fact that vegetables used to be classified as second-class proteins while meats were first class. However , the most current medical and scientific evident shows that: • Man can subsist perfectly well on a proper nonflesh diet; • Statistically, vegetarians in the U.S. are thinner, healthier , and may live longer than meat eaters; • Meat, especially in the large quantities Americans are used to eating, may be harmful to the body; • Protein from nonflesh foods can be an adequate nutritional substitute for meat protein. Nutritionists have pointed out some disadvantages of a heavy meat diet. Most Americans suffer from an excess of proteins. Studies have shown that lacto, lacto-ovo, and pure vegetarians meet their protein needs but don't significantly exceed them. Most meat eaters do exceed their needs , and tend to weigh more. Meat is 4% cholesterol. Except for eggs, nonflesh foods contain no cholesterol. Some studies have shown vegetarians to have consistently lower level s of serum cho lesterol than meat eaters. Meat eaters can be bothered by poor absorption and elimination. Meat is lowfiber content it moves sluggishly through the digestive system. Stools can be dry and hard to pass. Vegetarians retain moisture and bind waste bulk for easy passage.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT CAREER FORUM
AlumnusHonors Ms. Roddy
WhereAre TheJobs?HowTo ObtainThem? A question most intended graduates continuously ask themselves is what kind of job their four years of education will be able to obtain for them . For those students affiliated with the English Dt :-,artment at Cabrini College, this area of c mcern was brought into view on October 6. The occasion was the Second Annual Career Forum. Four graduates and one student still attending Cabrini spoke at the forum. The guests included Maria Valente and Alice Vail, both 1973 graduates; Carol Ann Lukas, a 1970 graduate; Lorraine De Brodi, a 1969 graduate; and Michelle Perna, an intended 1975 graduate. What kind of job? The jobs discussed at the forum ranged from teaching a High School level English to working with a construction firm . The first speaker, Maria Valente, works as a Employee Development Specialist for the government. Her joo includes testing in areas such as listening comprehension, reading, etc. and job placement - she also commented on the benefits of holding a government job . Alice Vail works for WYOQ radio station as an Account Executive. Her job deals with public relations, advertising, the production of commercials and the writing of the copy for commercials. Ms . Vail sees the field of Communications as a wide opened field, especially for women. The work is hard and very competitive but rewarding. Her advice to the students, as far as how to obtain a job, was what comes down to "se lling oneself." You have to be confident in yourself and your skills and convince others that you are the right person for the job they are offering.
Lorraine De Brodi, after graduating from Cabrini in 1969, began graduate school. As a part time summer job she worked with a construction firm. She was then offered a permanent job with the firm and at present is still working for them. Even though she is not directly working with her B.A. in English she told the students that her education at Cabrini is invaluable. Carol Ann Lukas is a High School teacher at Sharon Hill. She explained the new trends in high school English and the importance of a good sound background in the fundamentals. She also expressed the importance of being able to use all your resources in handling extra curricular activities such as Theater, school plays, Speech Clubs, etc. A Communications background was also stressed as being an important facet of a prospective English teacher's education. Most high schools have initiated some sort of communications program and it is speculated that all schools will have such programs in the next five years. . Ms. Perna, who recently began student teaching, was asked to initiate a Commu ni catio ns program for Vo-Tech students at Marple Newtown Senior High School. The consensus of Ms. Perna and Ms. Lukas was that communications will play a very important role in all high schools and therefore will be an important aspect for tentative secondary education majors of English. The forum proved extremely informative and enjoyable. Students who attended the forum asked questions and discussed the growing problems of today's job market.
A Utopian Vision? by Michelle Perna The basis for transcendental meditation is the science of creative intelligen ce. This science stresses the fundamental law of growth and order found in every discipline. The science provides a framework for studying human life attempting to redefine what one can find as a human being . ls this a utopian vision? For the 400,000 individuals in the U.S. and approximate 700,000 individuals studying transcendental meditation, obviously it is not . A lecture on Transcendental Meditation was given by the Social Science Club of Cabrini College on Oct. 23, 1974. The guest speaker was John Sugden. Mr . Sugden explained that there has been a growing number of individuals who have become extremely involved in transcendental meditation. So much so, that in four years, 4,000 teachers have been

trained to fill the demand of people taking it. Evidence has shown that this meditation does much for relaxing the body and the mind . It allows the body and the mind to go into a deep relaxation, which is unlike sleep because of the restful alertness present . Mr . Sugden is a 1971 graduate of the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science. He was certified in Special Education at Chaney State College. After certification, Mr . Sugden taught at Chester High School in Special Education. It was during this time that he became involved in transcendental meditation. He went to Belgium to study for approximately six months, where he came in contact with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Mr. Sugden is presently head of a Science of Creative Intelligence Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The Cabrini College alumni association has presented its first Honorary Alumnus award to Jacq ueline Roddy, vice president for development and public relations at the Radnor College . The surprise award was announced by alumni association president, Joanne Balshi, at the annual fall luncheon , held at the Barclay, Philadelphia. In presenting the award to Miss Roddy, Mrs . Balshi indicated that the newlyrevised alumni association constitution provides that honorary membership shall be granted to those who have demonstrated a particular interest in the welfare of Cabrini College. "The executive board felt that the first recipient should be a special person whose spirit of service to the college and the alumni association was particularly outstanding," the alumni president said. Mrs . Balshi described Miss Roddy as, "a person who has given willingly the most precious gift, the gift of time, with loyalty and dedication that could not be matched ," as she presented her with an engraved pewter bowl, as a mememto of the occasion. Among her many duties as vice president for development and public relations, Miss Roddy aids the executive board of the alumni association with the planning and the direction of such projects as the annual giving fund, resources center, recruitment, program bureau, annual luncheon and scholarship program. She was recently re-elected to the board of directors of the Main Line Chamber of Commerce, and she serves as coordinator of the Philadelphia area businessmen committee of the Foundation for Independent College , Inc . of Penn ylvania. Miss Roddy , a graduate of St. Louis University, joined Cabrini in 1967 as administrative assistant to the president, and was director of public relations and director of development prior to being named vice presiden t.

DR. DONALD D'ORAZIO
by Ma ureen Larkin For students who have problems or who need someone to discuss things with, Cabrini has a service to offer. Dr. Donald D'Orazio functions as the school psychologist and is available for consultation with students free of charge. Dr. D'Orazio specializes in clinical developmental psychology. As the name indicates this is a combination of two types of psychology , clinical and developmental Clinical psychologists try to help the patient solve his emotional problems through the interpretation of psychological tests. Developmental Psychology is the study of a child as he grows. This study enables psychologists to understand how the child's abilities and personality change during his development . Dr. D'Orazio 's interest in this field lies with adolescents and young adults. In addition to the child's psychological aspect, the doctor also watches the child's spiritual, physical, mental , and emotional
development. In addition to working at Cabrini, Dr . D'Orazio is also a consultant at Chestnut Hill College. His teaching experiences have included St. Charles Seminary in Overbrook and Rosemont College. Since one of his interests is in young adults the doctor feels that a college is one of the best places to meet young people, and he enjoys working in a college atmosphere. The session between Dr. D'Orazio and the student is kept completely confidential. Confidentiality is one point that many students are concerned about. Dr . D'Orazio said that every precaution is taken to assure the student that what is . discussed in his office goes no further than that. Dr. D'Orazio can be found in his office, on the bottom floor of Holy Spirit Library, every Friday from early morning till late in the afternoon. Students may make appointments at the office of the VicePresident of Student Affairs.

cause for amendment and hearings. Credit bureaus, employers and governmental agencies could now require students to obtain all their records. Formerly, schools could protect their students by refusing to issue these records. Senator Buckle y has agreed to amend the measure to restrict access to confidential recommendations that are already in student files . This new amendment requires all records compiled prior to September 20, 1974 to remain confidential. It also would permit students to sign a letter waiving their access to confidential letters of recommendation if their colleges want to continue to gather such information. After Congress returns from its election recess, Senator Bu ckley will introduce this amendment. At this time, he will also introduce legislation to deal with problems stemming from his amendment to an elementary-secondary education bill, giving students over 18 and the parents of younger students the right to inspect records.

or Flop?" "ArmsControlToday. • . Success by Michelle Perna Las t semester, Spring 1974, Cabrini College offered a course entitled " Imperatives for Peace in a Nuclear Age." One of the goal s of the course was to inform the student, or at least make her/him aware , of the alternatives available and the necessity for serious thought on the matter of achieving pea ce. On Monday , October 28, 1974, the Social Science Club presented a lecture entitled, " Arms Control Today - Success or Flop?" ; the guest speaker was Paul Walker . One of the fir st things Mr. Walker made clear was that he leaned towards anti-defense . He distributed two handouts to the students attending the lecture . One was on the eighteen major arm s control agreements between 1959-1971 (see chart I); and the other concerned t he number of nuclear explosions , above ground and underground , by the U.S . and the U.S .S.R. between 1945-1973 (see chart II) . After viewing ea ch of the agreements individually , questions of whether or not these agreements have served any purpose , or in an y wa y limited defens e expenditures , were posed . Mr. Walker' s response to t h ese que stion s wa s that the arms agreement s: 1. Have limited , to a degree , the qu a ntitative arm s ra ce, but not the qu a li t ati ve rac e. 2. Are per ceived politically as posit ive. 3. Have allowed for communication bet ween sup erpow er s and non-superpow er s. According to Mr .

year for 1975, $3.2 billion has been allocated by the U.S. government for defense while only $212 million has been allocated for arms control. In concluding his talk, Mr. ' lalker gave possibilities for Arms Cont :ol; his five areas of support for the fu ure were: 1. Limit defense spending by putting the money elsewhere . 2. Limit the qualitative arms race. 3. Stabilize research and development . 4. Limit development and trade of weapons . 5. Stop nuclear testing . He urged all that attended the lecture to think abou t pos sible alternatives to the present militar y hi era r chy. Peace is something most peopl e t hink a bout , but in a utopian perspecti ve.

GeorgeCollins ''OneManShow'' by Fran Mac Do nald When one hears the term "One Man Show", it sometimes brings to mind that crazy gentleman of past cartoons who could sing, dance and play several instruments at the same time, and al ways sound totally ridiculous. This was not the case however, when George Collins brought his "One Man Show" to Cabrini College on October 23. Collins is not new to this area. He studied voice with Diana Delmonte of Philadelphia and acting with Jim Mapp, director of the Playward Bus Company of Philadelphia . He also has appeared in a variety of operas, musicals, concerts and plays, including Mapp's production of "God's Trombones: 7 Negro Sermons in Verse," "Lost in the Stars," and "The People's Light and Theater Company's production "Emperor Jones ." Collins is well known for his part as the king in "The King and I" presented at Notre Dame . Academy in Villanova, and as Millard in
"Love Two" presented at the Valley Forge Hilton Dinner Theatre. In both of these productions, he performed under the direction of Daniele Perna. In his performance, Collins managed to combine beautifully his talents as an actor and a singer. Accompanied by junior Martha Cavanagh on the piano, Collins sang numbers from past musical hits such as: "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin" from Porgy and Bess and "Shall We Dance" from The Ki ng and I. Collins also included all-time favorites such as "Impossible Dream," "Everything's Coming Up Roses," and "So in Love ." He exposed his talents as an actor in his presentation of dialogues and poetry including: Let My People Go, from God's Trombones, Sonnett No . 18 by William Shakespeare and The Junkman by Ken Nordine . In addition to the o.ne man show by Mr. Collins, there was a photography exhibit of the works of Joseph Granese in the Blue Room of Grace Hall.

Evening AtCabrini 11 Tuesday night, October 29, Dan Perna and company performed a miracle in the Little Theater of Grace Hall. Who would believe that anything could be more excellent than "Evening at Cabrini I"?. "Evening at Cabrini II" proved that it could be done. The show consisted of an incredib le amount of talent; but behind the talent were a group of people, the production staff, who sh ould also be given recognition. One girl, in particular, Marybeth Senkewicz, contributed an extreme amount of time to put the show together. Marybeth has been working hard as stage manager behind the scenes of all the theater productions for two years. T his year Marybeth . is showing a freshman, Mary Di Joseph , the ways of the stage. Cindy Cindy Cunningham , Sue Snyder; Rudy Pizzuto, Biff Duffy, and John Hare , the stage crew, were also helpful in the production. Vibiana Osborne worked with · Dan Perna to coordinate the show. One other person, Joe Donnelly, has been a ·steady worker in conjunction with the shows. Joe can be found behind the curtains setting the mood with his lights.
Enco re A few people who were involved in " Evening at Cabrini I", returned for an encore of their first performance. Among these was Barbara Pinto. Barbara sang
"Alfie" and "So mewhere over the Rainbow" . She was accompanied by an excellent pianist, Grace Armedeo, who deserved more acclaim than she was given. Cabrini's answer to Romeo and Juliet , Father Rudy and Betty Etherton, were also back again to sparkle the show. Michael Walczak made use of his various vocal techniques while he announced the show. Michael was awarded "A pole for a Po le" by Cast and Script Society . Tony Imperato began the evening singing a selection from Simon and Garfunkel and also one from Sam Cooke. There were two other guitarists in the show, Vivian Mayol, and Kim Sanders . Sue Howell sang "Leaving on a Jet Plane" , and "More" along with Vivian. Vivian also entertained everyone with a Spanish song. Kim showed an incredible amount of talent, not only singing with the guitar, but also without as well. Carter Craigie along with Ray Crew, took us back to his childhood days with two poems of the frozen north. Cast and Script provided a Halloween treat for everyone with an invention of a monster. The main ingredients of which were familiar traits of Cabrini's faculty. Laura Heim did a monoloque expressing her own and Cabrini's theater people's fears and joys of the stage. "Evening at Cabrini II" was a thoroughly enjoyable evening for the audience.
ThisGardenWill Have "A TouchOf Class" by Beth Schweitzer A remnant from the past had found a permanent home on the campus of Cabrini College. Mr. Meinhardt Raabe, a student at Barnes Arboretum School in Lower Merion, has been employed to fulfill a dream of Dean Brown . He is restoring the formal gardens. The recreation is taking place in an area behind Grace Hall which was formally the formal garden of the Dorrance Estate . Hopefully the garden will take on the fine design of an Italian garden. The proposed creatio n would be a framework of beautiful trees and plants with a histori c type of design. Mr. Raabe started his project on July 2, 1974, and said that it would be a long range project and no definite date could be given for its completion. When he ca me to . the garden he found it infested with not only weeds and vines, but different types of beautiful trees and plants. Some of these
include Japanese Maples , White Oak , American White Ash, Red Maple and Tulip Trees. Raabe found a total of fifteen Japanese Map les the first day he was on t he site . Raabe plan!' to artistica ll y extend a climbing vine ont o a white building located by the formal garden. Man y of the plants found in the garden that someone else might mistake for weeds are actually wild flowers. Mr. Raabe has not destroyed them. Instead he has st,arted a collective garden of wild flowers. The work for such a project is time consu ming. Mr . Raabe feels that his greatest asset in helping with this project is Mary Beth Senkewicz, a junior at Cabrini College . Mary Beth will continue working with the project through this year and next with the hope of getting Botany credits while working on an independent study course. This project will probably be continued through the departments of Ecology and Botany in future years.

''THE FINISHED PRODUCT''
SUBWAY INHABITANTS by Mary Beth Senkewicz Faceless forms sl ump wearily against sooty pillars, waiting for the next E train to Queens. The sound of my shoes as I clump down the steps echoes eerily through the almostdeserted station; forms take shape and become realities as eyes are liftecLin my direction to appraise this noisy breaker of the silence. I shrink from embarrassment and silent ly curse my sister for having nothing but these asinine platforms for me to wear. Their ugly , steady, clompetyclomp reverberates from wall to wall, surrounding me in my journey down the station like an avalanche of sound . Now I'm in the middle of the station, so I stop and lean my weary body against ¡ another sooty pillar. Once again the curious silence rolls over everyone like fog as the last echo of my shoes slowly dies aw.ay. What a strange place , a subway station at night! It's filled with a weird air; - one of undefined apprehension so thick it seems to hang onto your very hands. You get the feeling that if you make it home without witnessing a murder or some other grotesque act you'll be lu cky. Everything seems so dreary, so lifeless. But look
closely: vestiges of life can be discerned amidst the deterioration. Hey you over there , with the stooped body and scraggly beard and runny nose, you look as if you're waiting for the Train to No Where. Has life treated you so harshly that you've nothing left, no where to go but a subway train for a few hours' sleep? And you, M s. Shopping Bag Lady , will you ever find a nything worth keeping in your bag? I can see it in your eyes, that look of resigned desperation; it looks hauntingly familiar. And over there in the corner, Mr. Bowery Bum lies huddled on the ground, his half- covered, blistered feet oozing blood and pus on the filthy floor he lies on. Why do you kick him, transit cop? Why must you further humiliate a beaten man ? Or must you remove him from your sight because the image is too frightening to behold? Wh0 know s, that could be you, or me, some day. Can't handle it, eh? The Shopping Bag Lady takes two dejected steps forward to the edge of the platform, and peers in'tently down the long narrow tunnel for a sign of a train. There isn't one coming. Yet -she still stands there, stari ng emptily into the infinite blackness, confronting her own nothingness .
NewMedicalServices by Fran MacDonald Next time the flu bug strikes at 9:30 or that cold becomes unbearebl e by 10 don't despair. Cabrini's new medical services will supp ly the remedy. These new services come in the form of night nurses, on call in case of accidents or sudden illnesses . Valerie Danielik, an RN working for her degree is returning for her second year. This semester Connie Rossi, an OR nurse from Lankenau Ho spital joins her. Connie is also working for her degree? Both nurses reside in Grace Hall. They are avai lable from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m . in the clinic and are on call in their rooms after 9:30. According to Mrs. Mary Mulligan , Cabrini's day nurse, one of the primary reasons for t h e acquisition of these nurses was to relieve the head residents of the responsibility of distributing medi cines. Last semester, head residents were respon-
sible for the distribution of medicine to sick students after 4 p.m . Mrs. Mulligan also felt the need of continued observation of students taken ill, in case their condition worsened during the night. Along with the additional nurses, the clinic also has a new location. Formerly located in the Jablonski Wing of Grace Hall, it was moved during the renovatio n of this building to the second floor . This move resulted in noted improvements. The clinic now has a treatment room, a two bed rest area for patients confined to bed , and a private bathroom. Cabrini's next step in improving its medical services will be the addition of a resident doctor. Mrs . Mulligan stated that Cabrini is seeking a doctor who would have office 11ours on campus during the week. It is not known however, how soon such a physician will be ~ound.
JOURNALISM
OneEditor's Perspective by Maureen Larkin "If your mother tells you that she loves you - check it out." This is one of the first points Mr. Rolph Neillie made to the students attending hi~ presentation on the topic of "History and Journalism ." Mr. Neillie is the editor of The Philadelphia Daily News. The lecture was sponsored by the History Club. A little known fact to most people is that history plays a very significant role in journalism. Newspapers from the past are constantly being used by writers for additional material. These newspapers are a form of his tory, whose use most people aren't even aware of. Mr. Neillie made a few intere sting comments comparing hi stor ians to journalists. An historian, like a journalist, h as to be curious and extremely inquisitive while pursuing a lead in order to get at the truth. Also, •just as a reporter must have a great love and devotion to his job , an historian must continue working and searching, no matter how many blind alleys he run s into, while hunting something out. The main themes in both occupations are a great devotion to and a relentless search for truth. General information about the field of newspapers was also covered by Mr. Neillie. He told the students about the many important aspects of a good reporter, stating accuracy, curiosity and an open mind as just a few . The main aspect, to ch eck out any information for validity, was greatly stressed. There is a huge difference between thinking you know something and actually kn owing it. The mood of the presentation was very informal. It was not a case where the speaker did all the talking. On the con trary, the a udi ence actively participated in discussion by expressing their views periodically throughout t h e lecture . Mr . Neillie appeared quite at ease with the small and varied group that attended. His interesting and humorous presentation enabled him to hold the full attention of hi s audience for the entire hour.
